Jadeite is the king of jade and has significant advantages compared to other jades: bright and noble color, stable properties, strong luster, high refractive index, high specific gravity and high hardness. As the saying goes, jade nourishes people, and people nourish jade. But if you want jade to play a role in “nourishing people”, you must first take good care of it. Some people put jade aside when they are not wearing it. When they remember to wear it again, they find that the jade has lost its luster and they regret it. Does jade need to be maintained when not worn? Jade also needs to be maintained when we are not wearing it. If jade products are poorly maintained or cared for, the cracks inside the jade will gradually appear and its transparency will be relatively reduced. Therefore, jade products need to be maintained regardless of whether they are worn or not. How to maintain jade? Jade needs to be soaked in water after wearing it for a period of time. Yes, you read that right, just soak the jade in pure water. Jade stores often place a glass of water on the counter. This is because regularly replenishing jade with water is not only of great help in the maintenance of jade, but can also improve the quality of jade to a certain extent. In addition, because there is lighting in the jade counter, the jade is easily dehydrated and becomes dull under the high temperature. It doesn't look that warm. Water can help to moisten the air; if jade is kept close to a heat source for a long time, the size of its internal molecules will increase after being burned, causing the jade quality to change, causing the jade to lose its warm moisture, causing its seed quality to become dry, and its color to become lighter. Therefore, do not keep jade in a high temperature and humid environment for a long time, especially pay attention to the storage environment when not worn. Why do we need to soak jade in water? Jade is a jade stone and a mixture of various minerals. Therefore, soaking in water for a long time is enough to allow water molecules to enter the interior of the jade. Water is a very good buffer layer that can make the inside of the jade more flexible. The internal structure of the bean-type and glutinous-type jade is relatively loose, allowing water molecules to easily enter and replenish moisture, making the jade look moist and attractive. Jadeite needs to be soaked in pure water Not all water can be used when soaking jade. Just like raising fish, if you use the wrong water, the fish will die. You must use purified water to soak jade, and do not use tap water, because the chlorine in tap water will corrode the surface of jade. Over time, a layer of substance will form on the surface of jade, which will deteriorate the quality of the jade, and change its color and transparency. How long does it take to soak jade in water? Jade should not be soaked in water for too long, 1-2 hours is best, and then wipe it clean with a dry soft cloth. You can soak it in water every 3-4 months. It is best to use pure water to soak jade, and immerse the jade completely in water. If the jade is stored in a separate cabinet, it is best to place a cup of water next to the jade like a counter. The water vapor evaporated from the cup can also effectively maintain the moisture of the jade. Always remember that too much is as bad as too little. Do not soak jade in water for a long time. 1-2 hours is enough. Jade should be kept clean even when not worn, so that it can better play its health-preserving effects and maintain good brightness and gloss. Do not use reagents such as alcohol when cleaning. Just soak it in pure water for half a day and then rinse it clean. If necessary, you can gently scrub it with a soft brush and finally wipe off the moisture with a clean soft cloth. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
